They use lights to enhance the atmosphere, tone, depth and mood of a scene. When lighting for VFX, the aim is to match the 3D lights to the real-world lighting in the footage.

• Working to deadlines: work within given timeframes and deliver on schedule
• Knowledge of relevant programs: be adept at using 3D and compositing programs.

While you have previous training, this course is designed to sharpen your skills to be the best lighting artist you can be.

Whether it's working out areas of your game that need practice or introducing you to some techniques you may not have realized you're good at, this is what the course is about.
• A free online course of 8-10 weeks to get you up to the standard required to deliver first class VFX
• Dedicated mentoring from a senior industry member
• Intensive training using industry standard software tools (provided) while using our high-quality training materials
